i randomly found postcards from italy on a shared itunes network at work and was instantly hooked. it's very rare i enjoy more then a handful of songs from any given artist but i thoroughly enjoy both of beirut's albums.

beirut's sound was like nothing i had ever heard at the time - i especially love the use of more "traditional" instruments...it created a more "organic" sound to me, none of this over processed computer enhanced music if you get what i'm saying lol.

anyway just wanted to add my "gushing praise" to a very talented group/artist.

I canot stop listening to Nantes.... I'm so jealous of this girl he wrote the song for.... (according to dailymotion comments he dedicated the song to Nantes and a girl he met overthere. France..... I'm having a "patriotic" mood at the moment....thanks to Taben and recent readings, I must say....)
I wish my bf could write such a (simple) cute song.... with his saxophone...

it's so amazing the talent this guy bodes. like patrick wolf,this he is only in his early 20's and he is making some of the most amazing sounds one would think to hear from somebody beyond his years. he is a maestro in the truest of forms.
